Day 3

Day 3 over and we're well over half way there! We've now covered 59 miles in the past three days with just 36 miles to go. The course today was slightly less strenuous than yesterday, however the miles covered in the previous day had left their mark on everybody's legs and feet. Blisters are springing up on blisters, and muscles which we never knew we had are aching!

Paul's enthusiasm of climbing Ben Nevis has well and truly disappeared when a simple 750 yard stroll to check out a "holy pond" resorted in Paul saying "I know I should go and have a look, but I can't be arsed."

It took us a little longer to get into our stride today, but once we got going we were off and running...well almost. Still having great fun along the way, as you can see...

Day 3 here we go!

Have you met my friend the bear (I'm the one on the left by the way!)


The half way point in the route - 47.5 miles


Here we are eating lunch while the midges are eating us. First drop of rain but it didn't last long.

Feet are sore and weary but when i tell everyone there's only 2 miles to go it soon brings a smile to their faces.




We made it! This is our hotel, The Bridge of Orchy. Very Luxurious! Thankfully the beer's easing the sore feet by the second!

An easier walk ahead of us tomorrow by comparison, just 13 miles!

Glad to see your all still smiling thats what its all about.Most of the hard work is done now, it must be downhill from here on. I hope your all changing your socks or are they chasing you. Carry on the good work looking forward to hearing from you tomorrow. We'll go another 25 quid if you all make the top of Ben Nevis, Come on now.
